PLEASE HELP I HAVE BEEN STUCK ON THIS FOR A WHILE.

A long platform is holding your physics teacher in the air above some hungry alligators. Your physics teacher has a mass of 75 kg and is located 2 m from one end. The 10.0 m platform has a mass of 10.0 kg, and its center of gravity is located 4.0 m from the same end. The platform is being held up by two students, one at either end.


a. What force is required by each student to hold the platform up?
